nobody stops and asks you what your religion is, nobody stops and asks you what your political party affiliation is. folks are just rolling up their sleeves, getting to work. and so what you're seeing in the field, what you're seeing with residents, what you're seeing with emergency responders is what we should be seeing with our elected leaders as well. the president of the united states, our governor and really dozens of local elected leaders of all parties across the state, we're all pulling together. we're all in the same foxhole. we're all fighting the same enemy here. and it's not refreshing. frankly, that's the standard that has built america in the past and it's going to help us forge forward in the future. >> we're hearing that there have been as many as six fatalities now in new jersey. that death toll may well rise. there are many areas people still can't get to. what are you hearing about people who may be trapped or areas where these services have simply not been able to get to them? >> well, that's the crisis. and that's what had me concerned. the storm may have passed

when we talk about whether you can visit someone in the hospital regardless of your religion or no religion, regardless of who you do or do not sleep with, right, we're talking about the right to be with a loved one, not a gay right to be with a loved one. so that is so important because that's where we're headed because young people already see it that way. it's only older people that you have to get on this thing that it's not about marriage. so i do think it's shifting. i agree that you see the political energy in the democratic party with governor cuomo, as well. i don't think, though, as a legal matter that she they should be on ballots at all. >> again, california has ending the death penalty on there, changing the three strikes law.. >> again, california has ending the death penalty on there, changing the three strikes law.. >> again, california has ending the death penalty on there, changing the three strikes law. things that i as a progressive would be generally supportive of, and yet my concern is when at the show up on ballot measures rather than showing up in our state legislatu
